We Never Get Tired
in trying tp Do Our
Storekeeping Better
but it has never been bo difficult to
get assistants to think of what they
pre hprp for find to set tftpir inmis
fully upon their duties.
Some of our oldest workers are
very faithful, but there are many
other? who hurry in a.t nine amj
hurry put at five, not realising how
little and how artificial their service
seems to ppine qf pur life-long
patrons who haye gopd reason to
expect much from ns,
To he an acfcpunta.nt qr a cjprk in

We Know by the growth of thp
business through all thp yearp and
especially this yfcar, that the people
want to usp the peculiar advantages
of our large, carefully spnght and
well-bought assortments of merchan

Stitching, Stitching
Everywhere on the
Loveliest Fall Gowns
Which means the, gowns that haye taken their
inspiration, from Paris models and arc now having
their first presentation in the Fashion Salons.
This stitching is pne of thai newest Paris
features and it is certainly one of the prettiest.
Little or no other trimming: is used, for none is
needed. Occasionally a hit of fur, chiefly on the
gowns of duvetyne, or bonds combined with stitch
ing on the more elaborate afternoon frocks this
is about the only exception.
A charming in-between-scason dress is of Royal
blue satin, stitched in largo squares. It is in the
loose chemise stylo, belted and finished with a deep
border of navy bjuo tricotine. Another form pf
stitching is a smart midnight blue tricotine with
bands of the brightest green satin stitched across
in dark blue.
Another, a street frock, is stitched in square
effect to give tho effoct of an Eton jacket, gold
and bright blue silk being used. Sometimes tho
entire upper part of the dress i3 stitched, somo
tirnes the hem also.
Theso are the most unusual and distinctive
gowns so far brought out for Fall, and every
woman has a special interest in seeing them. They
aro 5125 to $215.

The Authentic Forecast for
Autumn and Winter Millinery
Showing of the New Paris Hats at Wanamajcer's
"OARIS was of several minds, regarding some phases of millinery, we decided, this
year as we viewed the hats in the foremost ateliers. But all the modistes were
of one mind when it came to beauty of line, richness of fabric and lovely colorings,
we agreed !
These hat fashions are the last to come over the Atlantic rthey arrived just
in time to get into the news. They are the fashions Paris herself approves., and
will wear. And here, unboxed, are the newest creations of
Af . Lewis Marcelle Demay Jeanne Due
4-Hce and Nora Odette Verlaine
JSach hat represents some feature or dominating note of the' new fashions.
There are no two hats alike.
There Is a Furore Over Velvet
and rich velvets aro seen everywhere deep lustrous
blacks, wonderful browns (and Paris is showing a
gjea fondness for bjown), blues and other rich colors.
Next in favor como shaggy fabrics like soft wools,
Angora hats, plush hats, and hats of furry beaver
cloths. All these yon will see in the newest, smartest
models.
Hats Are Large Quite targe, Often
nn4 Monsieur Lewis has quite a liking for Napojeonie
hats, broad of brim and turned sharply off tho face.
Brims are often very broad, sometimes turned up
at one side. And thero aro delightful hats with great
soft crowns, and others with crushablo brims. But
becoming they arc, and wearable always.
As to Trimmings
Paris Is smiling upon the ostrich. Ostrich plumes up

hat and facing the brims, covering the crowns and
used in any number of ways you will see what de
lightful ways they arc on the hats themselves.
Much lace, too, is used sweeping laco veils, Ineo
draperies charming when conibined with the beauti
ful velvets.
On the wide-bpmmed hats which have sweeping
lines and little trimming you will seo groat pins of
gleaming jet or rhipestones -theso aro stunning.
Tinsel ribbons and suporb embroideries that glow
with color and shpw tho gleam of gold, too these
ajso aro used.
Occasionally thoie is a fur-trimmed hat one of
soft taupe velvet faced with gray mole was lovely.

pleasure to see them than to read of them!
